In the history of this country, only 10 Presidents have won with less than 50% of the vote. If Clinton should win with 41.5%, it would place her 3rd from the bottom in terms of the least voting percentage for any winning President.

This speaks volumes about this election. An election with a potential winner that few in the country really want. And, her percentages may continue to get worse following the latest revelations from the FBI report regarding her email server.
